The Freemasons want to change their image. Apparently this long-standing secret society is fed up with being seen as a long-standing secret society. They are sick of being branded a shadowy force that influences the highest echelons of our culture. They are tired of being perceived as an arcane pseudo-religious sect, covertly responsible for all the defining events in human civilisation and maintaining world order through a series of outdated rules, esoteric rituals and silly handshakes. Trouble is, if they are not any of these things, what’s the point of being a Freemason? Isn’t the secrecy and mysticism all part of the allure? They insist they are just an open-minded group of individuals who like to meet up, make friends and do good work. Where’s the fun in that? That’s just a grown-up version of the Scouts. Bottom line, if you take away all conspiracy theories, what are you left with? A load of ageing men in a dimly-lit room. You might as well go the whole hog and go to a retirement home; they’re equally dark and just as full of secrets, because no-one can remember anything any more.

The powerful but misguided esoteric movements of today such as Freemasonry and the Illuminati hold to the belief that the Jesus of Christianity is in reality a representation of the Sun or astrological personification, and that Christianity is a later distortion or forgery that plagiarised from previous cults. This is why you see so many attacks upon Christianity in our day. Keith Thompson, Where the Rabbit Hole Ends

It is the most private organisation in America. With mysterious meetings held behind closed doors, and a membership that includes some of the most powerful men in the world.

In another film the concept of global leader and global government is also strongly propagated. In 1996 the film Independence Day ... subliminal messages can be found indicating the free Masonic presence and the free Masonic agenda ... The film is part of an upsurge in films and television serials on the topics of aliens, UFOs and invasions threatening the whole of mankind. These are gradually fuelling the growing interest and public unrest in the issue. This is just one of the many ways in which the Freemasons are paving the way for global government. Shadows in Motion
No matter how much they still maintained the external appearance of warrior Christian monks, among themselves they had secretly adopted the Kabbalist philosophy and way of life. The Knights Templar and Freemasonry
It emerged from these confessions that the Templars entirely rejected God and the theistic religions. And that they were devoted to the perversion of devil-worship, these days known as Satanism. They worshipped the goat-headed figure by the name of Baphomet, regarded as the source of evil in black magic. The Order had continued its devil-worshipping ceremonies in the greatest secrecy for hundreds of years. ibid.
As well as freemasonry the Templars also established the Rose Croix organisation. The main focus of this organisation was alchemy and magic ... One of the most famous members of the Rose Croix was the English statesman and thinker Sir Francis Bacon, who was also a Grand Master of the English Templars. Bacon set out the state structure of which the Templars dreamed in his book the New Atlantis. The main aim of their work was to rule the world by using the mystical powers in Templar teaching. ibid.

The City [of Washington] was designed scientifically and geometrically. Why? To send a very important message: that unlike the Old Order where the reliance was on religion mainly to govern the affairs of the people, under the New Order the reliance is going to be mainly on Reason, the Scientific Method, Geometry, to govern the affairs of the people. Akram Elias, 33rd degree Mason
